However, they are as healthy as they are delicious, according to various scientific findings. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Cardiovascular benefits of Strawberry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The research shows that antioxidant and anti- inflammatory content in strawberries are simply outstanding. <\/p>\n<p>A study conducted in Iran, which surveyed 66 different fruits, revealed that strawberry has the best source of vitamin C -providing twice as much of this crucial vitamin compared to other fruits (47 mg versus 18 mg in 3.5 ounces). <\/p>\n<p>Strawberries are also loaded with manganese, a key antioxidant mineral. <\/p>\n<p>Most phytonutrients found in strawberries function not just as antioxidants, but also as key anti-inflammatory nutrients. <\/p>\n<p>The phytonutrients important for cardiovascular health found in strawberries include anthocyanins, flavonols, tannins, hydroxy-benzoic acids and hydroxy-cinnamic acids.<\/p>\n<p>The support from oxidative and inflammatory damage is crucial to the heart and to blood vessels. <\/p>\n<p>And, there is no better way to get that support than a handful of fresh strawberries! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Type 2 diabetes benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A recent scientific research study uncovered that regular consumption of strawberries lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. <\/p>\n<p>The interesting study revealed that when table sugar (5 to 6 tablespoons) was consumed with a cup of fresh strawberries, it did not cause a blood sugar spike- compared to when table sugar was taken alone (without strawberries). <\/p>\n<p>Researchers explain that a unique type of polyphenol -ellagitannins found in strawberries are responsible for the regulation of blood sugar response. <\/p>\n<p>The list of strawberry health benefits goes on\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Anti-cancer benefits <\/p>\n<p>Recent studies suggest that strawberries contain powerful anti-cancer compounds. <\/p>\n<p>The anti-cancer benefits of strawberry have been best documented in cases of cervical, colon and esophageal cancers. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Anti-aging and improved cognitive benefits.<\/p>\n<p>A study on aging animals revealed significantly improved cognitive function when at least 2 percent of their dietary intake consisted of strawberry extract. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the lab animals had much better balance and coordination of movements when fed with strawberries. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Improvement of inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative Colitis and Crohn\u2019s disease. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Great benefits in inflammation-related diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and macular degeneration of the eye. <\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned before, strawberries are loaded with vitamin C.<\/p>\n<p>Various studies have proven that this crucial vitamin helps us strengthen our immune system to fight off a litany of diseases.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to know that in order to preserve the maximum content of nutrients in strawberries, they should not be stored in the refrigerator for longer than two days, and in the range of temperature between 36-38* F (2-3* C). <\/p>\n<p>Even though strawberries are a real power food, they might not be able to heal type 2 diabetes or lower blood pressure levels alone\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><strong>So here\u2019s how to begin eliminating type 2 diabetes<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/blueheronhealthnews.com\/site\/type-2-diabetes-guide\/\"><strong>with easy-to-follow steps.
